- Violet color and aromas of blackberry. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of tobacco - Cabernet Sauvignon from cooler climate. Aromas of blackberries. Vegetal in flavour with strong tobacco flavours. Medium bodied with a reasonable mouth feel. A degree of acidity too, may not be to everyone's taste. Decanted for 2 hours. We drank this by itself but I think this is a more suitable wine to have with food.

Decanted this wine for about 2 hours. The bouquet is full of cabernet aromas. The wine is medium bodied, with flavours of blackberries, some oak and good minerality. The cabernet grape dominates this wine. The finish is smooth and long. It is drinking well now and will continue to do so for many more years.
